Areas of Focus

Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, Relationships, Life Transitions & Personal Growth

Therapy can provide a space to slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. At Rooted and Rising Psychology, I work collaboratively with adults who are navigating emotional challenges, relationship difficulties, major life changes, identity concerns, and patterns that may no longer be serving them.

I provide individual and couples therapy in downtown San Diego, as well as secure telehealth throughout California.

Anxiety

Anxiety can affect much more than how you feel in a particular moment. Persistent worry, overthinking, self-doubt, avoidance, difficulty relaxing, or feeling constantly on edge can begin to shape relationships, work, and everyday life.

Anxiety therapy can help you better understand the patterns contributing to anxiety and develop more flexible ways of responding.

Depression

Depression can make it difficult to feel connected to yourself, other people, or the activities that once mattered to you. Changes in motivation, mood, sleep, concentration, and hope can affect nearly every part of life.

Therapy can provide a supportive space to understand what you're experiencing, identify patterns that may be maintaining depression, and work toward meaningful change.

Relationship Concerns

Relationships can become caught in recurring patterns of conflict, withdrawal, misunderstanding, or emotional disconnection. Sometimes couples know they care about each other but aren't sure how to move forward from the same arguments.

Relationship therapy provides an opportunity to slow those patterns down, understand what is happening between you, and develop healthier ways of communicating and connecting.

Life Transitions Therapy

Even positive changes can bring uncertainty, grief, stress, or a sense of being unmoored. Career changes, relationship transitions, relocation, changes in identity, family changes, and other major life events can leave you questioning what comes next.

Therapy during a life transition can help you process what has changed, reconnect with what matters to you, and move forward with greater clarity.

LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy

Your identity and relationships deserve to be approached with respect, curiosity, and affirmation. Therapy can be a space to explore questions about identity, relationships, belonging, self-acceptance, and personal growth without having to defend or explain who you are.

I strive to provide LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy that recognizes the individual experiences and strengths each person brings to the therapeutic relationship.

Addictive Behavior Therapy

Patterns involving substances or other potentially addictive behaviors can become difficult to change, particularly when they serve an important emotional function. You may find yourself continuing a behavior despite wanting something different, feeling caught in a cycle, or struggling to understand what is underneath the pattern.

Therapy can help you explore the relationship between emotions, thoughts, behaviors, relationships, and substance use or other addictive patterns while working toward changes that are consistent with your goals and values.

Personal Growth Therapy

You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes therapy is about understanding yourself more deeply, becoming more intentional about how you live, or figuring out why you feel stuck despite things appearing fine from the outside.

Personal growth therapy can provide space for reflection, self-exploration, and meaningful change.

A Collaborative Approach

There isn't one version of therapy that works for everyone. My approach is collaborative and individualized, taking into account your experiences, goals, relationships, strengths, and the patterns you want to understand or change.

Together, we can identify what brings you to therapy and determine where it makes sense to begin.
